Geography

The high pressure in the Great Basin forces it way toward the lower pressure on the coast usually during the winter months. As the air sinks, it heats up, loses moisture, and increases in speed as it forces its way through the canyons. So, hot intense winds are the result. This also contributes to the forest fires in the area.

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The Santa Ana Winds originate from cool and dry air pressure mass in Great Britain and are therefore dry winds that affect South California and parts of North California.

  • Santa Ana Winds bring hot and dry weather during autumn. These winds also create relative low humidity in Southern California.
  • When these low humidity conditions combine with warm air and high wind speeds are known to create critical fire weather conditions.
  • These winds are also called devil winds because they often give rise to regional wildfires.
